“I don’t want to rule the world.”
“What do you want?”
“You.”
“You’ve had me from the moment you met me.”

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cassian!!!!

“You really think you can beat me in hand-to-hand combat?”
“I do. Because my mate taught me well.”

‘As long as she had Cassian at her side, her friends with her, she could do it. Face it. They wouldn't let her fall back into that pit. Cassian would never let her fall again.’

They’re mates!!!!!

“No one had ever held such power over me. And I am sill terrified that if I let myself have you... it will be taken away. Someone will take it away, and if you're dead.." She buried her face in her hands. "It doesn't matter," she whispered. "I do not deserve you, and I never, ever will."

"After my father died, after I failed in so many ways denying myself of you.." She sobbed. "It was my punishment. Don't you understand that?" She could barely see him through her tears.
"From the moment I met you, I wanted you more than reason. From the moment I saw you in my house, you were all I could think about.
And it terrified me. No one had ever held such power over me.”

"Then why did you bother to cut in at the ball?"
"Because I was fucking jealous!" he roared, wings splaying. "You looked like a queen, and it was painfully obvious that you should be with a princeling like Eris and not a low-born nothing like me! Because I couldn't stand the sight of it, right down to my gods-damned bones! But go ahead, Nesta. Go ahead and fucking marry him and good fucking luck to you!"

‘Cassian offered up his hand. Swallowed once.
He was nervous. This male who had faced down enemy armies, who had battled to the brink of death more times than she cared to count, who had fought so many dangers it was a miracle he lived... he was nervous.’
